At another school, on another team, this might not be of note. But at Utah, a program rooted in defense and special teams, it is a bizarre turn of events to have this most recent edition, perhaps the most expectation-heavy in school history, be led by a quarterback. Then again, things have never been more different in the world of college football and it stands to reason Utah football would follow suit.
moving from the right to left side tackle — and it would seem Utah has what it needs on offense to be competent.Jaylon Glover Utah’s Pac-12 Championship hopes, a trip to a second Rose Bowl or even a playoff berth, can’t sit squarely on the shoulders of the offense.Here’s where the Utes have more questions to answer, starting with life without linebacker Devin Lloyd.; there simply aren’t generational players just waiting in the wings at any program, let alone Utah.

Whittingham’s approach to special teams created unlikely heroes out of punters and kickers like Tom Hackett, Andy Phillips, Mitch Wishnowsky and Matt Gay.
